The Importance of Cranes on Jobsites
Heavy lifting: You can use cranes to lift all equipment, machinery, and structures. Cranes can handle heavy weights, whether it's from steel beams or concrete blocks.
Height and reach: Cranes are the ideal choice when working with inaccessible areas because of their height. With them, you can access elevated locations and get the job done.
Assembly: With cranes, you can erect, lift, and place crucial elements such as trusses and columns. They offer immense precision, which allows you to position each element perfectly.
Material handling: Cranes enable you to handle all materials on your job site. With their mobility, you can streamline your logistics and minimize labour requirements.
Load placement: Cranes can move heavy items with incredible accuracy. This enables you to place loads exactly where they have to go.
Time efficiency: Cranes speed up construction processes, significantly reducing the time it would take to move or lift materials manually. This improves overall project timelines and helps meet deadlines.
Safety: Cranes enhance job site safety by preventing workers from performing dangerous manual lifting tasks and minimizing the risk of injuries related to lifting heavy loads.
Adaptability to different environments: Cranes can be adapted for various environments, whether on construction sites, in agricultural fields, or for industrial applications. Their versatility and ability to operate in challenging conditions make them a go-to solution for multiple industries.

Hoist Safety Guidelines
When it comes to hoisting in Edmonton, safety is our top priority. We adhere to strict safety standards, including proper load balance, right rigging techniques, and regular equipment inspections. Our team is trained to handle all lifting tasks carefully, ensuring that each job is completed with the highest regard for safety.
​
​Key safety considerations include:
Load centring: Cranes should lift loads centred under the lifting point to maintain balance and prevent tipping. This guideline is essential for safety and optimal operation. An unbalanced load increases the risk of accidents, such as the crane tipping or the load slipping off.
Working load limit (WLL) and safety factor: Each crane and rigging component has a maximum weight it can safely handle, which is called the Working Load Limit (WLL). To prevent accidents, it is vital that all lifting operations respect the WLL. Additionally, all lifting equipment should have a safety factor of at least five times the WLL to account for dynamic forces during lifting operations. It ensures the crane and rigging systems are never exposed to unsafe conditions.
Training and certification: Operators and rigging professionals should be adequately trained in safely using lifting equipment. This includes understanding load limits, maintaining balance, and performing routine safety checks. Certified professionals are key to avoiding accidents.
Inspection and maintenance: Regular inspections of cranes and rigging equipment are necessary to maintain operational safety. Safety checks should be conducted before each lift to ensure all components are in good working condition and defect-free.
